LA JOLLA -- Jain Tuey scored a career-high 16 points coming off the bench and the Humboldt State women's basketball team sank UC San Diego 63-50 on Saturday night.

"I think our defense fueled our offense tonight. The defense played with urgency and executed the defensive plan very well," said HSU head coach Joddie Gleason.

Humboldt's defense held San Diego to only 15 points. For the game, the Jacks held down the Tritons to just over 30-percent (15 of 49) clip along with a 42-32 rebounding difference.

The Jacks (10-8, 7-7 California Collegiate Athletic Association) record their first road league weekend sweep of the season. The visitors' victory also snapped a three-game losing streak in the series against UC San Diego (11-7, 8-6 CCAA).

The HSU story of the night was its bench crew. The five Jacks scored 33 of the team's 63 points and grabbed 18 rebounds.

"I know it is a team game and it was especially important for the bench to step up with us getting in foul trouble quickly. They did a great job and were able to continue both defensively and scoring for us," explained Gleason.

The visitors' leader was senior Tuey. The wing player provided offense in not only the first half, but also the second. She downed two early first half triples for seven points, before she added two more 3-pointers in the latter stanza for another nine points and her new career-best 16 points. She also pulled down three caroms.

"Jain hit some huge shots when we needed it," noted Gleason. "Amanda (Kunst) was also huge on the glass for us."

Kunst was the Jacks' top rebounder with nine including five on the offensive end. The sophomore added seven points.

Elle Anderson chipped in six points and three boards along with four points from Sumayyah Wiggins and two rebounds from Jessica Johnson off the pine.

Despite not scoring in the first half, center Megan Shields finished with 10 points. She also had six rebounds, two assists and two blocked shots.

Stephanie Yano and Erin Dautremont had the UC San Diego scoring lead with 11 and 10 points, respectively.

The Tritons' Megan Perry downed a game-opening 3-pointer 1:15 into the game. The home bucket would be the only points with the lead.

A Kersey Wilcox layup and a Dani Gaumer 3-pointer started a 14-0 run over the next six minutes and 14-3 lead.

The Jacks were not done. In fact, the visitors continued to build the difference to 18 points, 25-7, on a Wiggins reverse layup at 3:39.

UC San Diego netted eight of the final 10 points for the 27-15 intermission tally.

Unlike other recent games, HSU had no letdown.

Over the opening eight minutes of the second half, HSU built the lead back to the largest of the night, 45-24, capped by back-to-back Tuey triples.

HSU would lead by as many as 20 points, 52-32, on a Kunst put back, before coasting to the 63-50 final.

The Jacks will look to continue the solid play next week at home. HSU will start by entertaining Cal State East Bay on Thursday night with a 5:30 p.m. tip-off.
